NanoZoomer Slide Scanner

The NanoZoomer Digital Pathology System (NDP) from Hamamatsu is the perfect way
to make high resolution digital slides from fixed specimens - for viewing locally, over an intranet, or
even over the internet.

The NDP System can accept up to 210 standard microscope slides at once (Nanozoomer-RS model). The standard resolution is better than
0.5 µm per pixel, yielding slide images with approx. 2 gigapixels. A fluorescence option is available.
The scanning time is about 2-3 minutes per slide, depending on the area scanned.
When viewing images over the network, interactive zoom & pan are available and only the viewed portion of the
image is transferred over the network, thus preserving network bandwidth and speed.

This product opens news frontiers in telepathology, such as the ability to establish pathologist competence
networks and conferences without the need for the pathologists to physically meet. Even sharing a slide with
a colleague or student becomes much simpler, using the Hamamatsu slide server software.
